Gilly's Great Days

But she didn't worry, her babies were all unique in their own way and that was what mattered to the mother rabbit. But for now she had to take it one day at a time. Her babies needed protection, not a mother who didn't care for them.

The mother knew the feeling of the cold, she had endured seven Iowa winters, and nearly ten blizzards. One of which killed her dearest sister Abelina.
